Want Help Fulfilling Your New Year's Resolutions? Start With Health Insurance
Many people use the arrival of the new year as a chance to make positive changes in their lives. If you're among these, one way to help keep more of your own resolutions is to add getting health insurance to your resolution list. Why? Here are five popular resolutions that work better with health insurance in 2023.
1. Save Money
Some of the most common resolutions involve saving money and improving your finances. It may seem counterintuitive to save money by spending it on monthly premiums, but it helps in three ways. First, you get help paying for everything from routine vaccinations to full medical emergencies. Plus, stable monthly premiums improve budgeting. And you may find that coverage is even more affordable than ever through programs like the ACA.
2. Take Care of Yourself
Does your goal include prioritizing yourself? This could be mentally, physically, emotionally, or with your time, for example. Managing your health care is one of the most important ways to prioritize self-care. Visiting doctors and taking control of your health isn't as exciting as a spa day or hiking a mountain, but it has many long-term benefits.
3. Get Exercise
Health insurers recognize that staying active and fit leads to better health and lower costs, so many of them offer incentives. Your insurer might offer wellness programs, pedometers, fitness-related benefits, and discounts on gyms or other groups, for instance. Combine these with help from licensed medical providers to improve your physical health so you can stay more active.
4. Stop a Bad Habit
Do you want to quit smoking in 2023? Planning to quit drinking, staying up late, or spending too much time on social media? Let your health insurance help. Look for a provider who includes smoking cessation programs, incentivizes drinking or vaping reduction, or offers tips for making healthier choices with your time.
5. Improve Mental Health
Mental health care is an increasingly large portion of good health insurance coverage. Whether you could use help improving your marriage and other personal relationships, stopping a destructive addiction, treating depression or anxiety, or just understanding yourself and how to manage your feelings, your insurer is more likely than ever before to give assistance.
